Routines are very important to have for your baby, it helps them develop a sense of security. 

Although toddlers do not like sleeping at times, most fuss when they are about to go to bed because they don't want to miss anything.  You may want to keep your toddler up later or put them to bed earlier to have more time for yourself, whatever it may be bedtime needs to be the same time each night.

What may help your child fall asleep more quickly? 

• Let them take one special thing to bed, whether it be a toy or a blanket
• Read them a story
• Breastfeed or give them a bottle
• Sing to them

This may take a half hour, but they need this time to relax. Do the same thing with your baby each night, this will make you and your child happy.
